Pre-AN/AR: I love fan fiction. Especially Crossovers. Not only does it help send writer's block packing to make room for a wonderful Miss Madam Muse, but it is also FUN to write, and gives me an excuse to get out of chores. "Just lemme finish this chapter, Mum?" works beautifully when you come from a family of bookworms.
Morticia smiled as she watched her little darlings plot pranks on her cousin. They grew up so quickly. It seemed like only yesterday that the twins had come to her, asking about plant poisons. Or that little Pugsley made his first atom bomb. Oh, memories.
"Mail's in," she called as the noise went through the house,
Wednesday ran over to Thing to get it, "Thank you, Thing."
Her little angel. Pugsley nudged Harry, something about pink hair. Why didn't he ask Wednesday? She was the expert, after all. Morticia just smiled when Wednesday slapped them both on the back of the head. "Mother?"
"What is it Harcourt, darling?"
"Can we raid the attic for our pranks?"
"Who are you pranking?"
"Our pet, Draco Malfoy, Cousin Severus, and Dumbledore."
"Why Dumbledore?"
"He ordered Professor McGonagall to keep me and Wednesday at school over the summer holidays."
Morticia started smoking. "Well . . . How's this? You prank all of the teachers, then they won't know if you're onto them."
Harry grinned at her. "Perfect, Mama!"
"Merci, mon petit diable."
"Tish! You spoke French!"
